The building conversion in the historical tower according to the design of the architect Vrzal and its commercial use was completely in conformance with the requirements for the protection of monuments. The ferroconcrete, self-supporting construction does not in any way impinge on the stone masonry of the original bell tower.
It is quite simply unique and the only tower in Central Europe that has been opened up to the public for multipurpose use. It is furnished and fitted out to a standard appropriate for visitors in the third millennium (air-conditioning, modern lighting, staircase and express elevator, etc.) All of the café, restaurant and retail spaces in the tower have managed to preserve the characteristic values of the building and locality. There is a magnificent panoramic view of Prague from the tenth floor, which has remained unknown up to now. The tower is in the epicentre of all of Prague's renowned "one hundred spires", of which there are actually more than a thousand in total. For this reason there is also a museum of Prague spires on the sixth floor.
